I set up the YubiKey with OpenSSH 8.2 (Ubuntu client and server) and it works. However, it does not do PIN enforcement at SSH login. It only requests the PIN during the set-up process (when the key is being generated). Is that the way it's supposed to work? Frank
You did not says what method you are using. https://developers.yubico.com/SSH/ lists 4 different ways to use the Yubikey: PIV, PGP, FIDO U2F and OTP. In PIV section: https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Guides/SSH_user_certificates.html It says: "If you have followed these steps to the letter, you will not be asked for the PIV PIN, but your YubiKey will start blinking, waiting for touch." Note the "--pin-policy=never --touch-policy=always" On 7/10/2020 3:38 PM, Frank Sharkey wrote:> I set up the YubiKey with OpenSSH 8.2 (Ubuntu client and server) and it > works.

OpenSSH doesn't yet support requiring PINs for keys except for a couple of corner cases (e.g. resident keys). I hope to add this before OpenSSH 8.4. -d

OpenSSH not requesting touch on FIDO keys (was: OpenSSH not requesting PIN code for YubiKey)

The user is prompted to touch the FIDO key when generating an ssh key but later on (eg. ssh-add -T ...) this does not happen any more. I guess it's due to the agent server not having any means to call back the client for notifying that user action is required [0]. Is it maybe an idea to add some 'touch required' constraint to such ssh keys? If the client could query for such constraint (via some protocol extension yet to be implemented), then it would show a prompt just before requesting the operation to the agent server.
